There are 15 miles of well marked equestrian trails that wander through grassland areas, meadows, pine and hardwood stands, gentle rolling hills and creeks. The East and West trail loops can be ridden separately or combined as one large loop.

Horseman's Facilities include:

Sleepy Hollow State Park provides facilities for picnicking, 181 non-equestrian camping sites, fishing, swimming, boating and 16 miles of hiking and biking trails. Hunting is allowed according to State Park rules and seasons. All vehicles need a Michigan Recreation Passport. These are available at the entrance booth and campground office.

Sleepy Hollow Trail Riders Association, Inc., a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization, was formed in 1997 to create and maintain these equestrian trails and staging area. Your membership fees and various fund raising events support the trails for public equestrian use. Your support of SHTRA is welcomed and shows that you care about these trails.

Enjoy your stay and Happy Trails!
